Year 2060. Elin, Soul Seeker.
In a world dominated by materialism, even emotions have been externalized and turned into objects, making humans increasingly empty and unable to experience genuine feelings. Rediscovering the essence of emotions becomes an urgent necessity.
This is how the "soul seekers" are born—people who were once blind but, thanks to advanced ocular prosthetics, have regained a new vision.
Now, they can perceive the vital energy that permeates everything, what was once called the "soul."
This illustration stems from a reflection on the growing emotional alienation in our society. The personal project explores the idea of a dystopian future where feelings are no longer an inherent part of human life but are transformed into physical objects to be bought.
Elin symbolizes the need to reclaim emotional authenticity and connect with what is invisible but essential to the human experience.
